A woman who forced parents to kick her out and write a letter so she could get benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions, or DWP , has spoken out. TikTok content creator Katie, a mum-of-one, forced her parents to kick her out and made them write a “rejection letter”. She has revealed the extreme lengths she went to to receive benefits and attempt to get a council house. Katie, 19, has now been “kicked off” the council house list and explained: “The council has kicked me off their list – I applied for the council list just as I found out I was pregnant so I could move into a place by the time my daughter was born.

Then save up for a deposit and private rent somewhere down the line when you can afford it.” A second typed: “Stay with your parents and educate yourself to get a well paid job.” A third said: “Maybe get a job as a starting point.” “Oh no…. If it isn’t the consequences of our actions,” another wrote. Another typed: “Some parents don’t want to work and just want handouts to stay home and do nothing all day.” Katie clapped back and said: “I do want to work but no one will accept me.”
